About

Meeroo Design is the design studio of Michael Ruane, a full-stack web developer and designer.

I love creating beautiful and functional products for my clients. For over 7 years, I have been helping others solve problems through design and development projects. I have a broad technical skillset that includes front-end web design, web application development, data-driven applications as well as print media design.

I leverage these skills to develop digital experiences that enhance both the image and productivity of my business clients. But all this doesn’t happen in a vacuum. My work is inspired by close collaborations with my clients.

Through the relationship that I establish with clients, I help to build better products that fill not only an immediate need but provide a lasting benefit.

Need to know more? I am a self-taught programmer with a strong design background developed through two advanced design degrees. Through self-exploration of programming languages, I have developed an appreciation for quality hand crafted code. In addition, my nine-to-five work life allows me to develop new technology for innovative planning tools and data products.

Share Food Program Website

A complete redesign on a limited budget, this website provided a local non-profit with an updated web presence that they could control. A customized content mangement system built on WordPress along with a custom volunteer registration system provided Share staff and volunteers with a powerful way to control messaging as well as improve the management of volunteers. The project also included custom development to allow for donations through PayPal and integrated thank you notifications.

Fish N Tales Brochure

This punchy brochure was developed to attract new customers to the services of a sport fishing adventure provider. Designed to be complementary to the company's website and brand, the brochure highlights key service offerings through catchy graphics that help catch the eye of potential customers at various bait and tackle shops where the brochures are displayed.

Fish N Tales Website + Logo

This complete redesign of the Fish N Tales website was timed with new branding and messaging for a full update of the company's image. A new logo with a more modern look and active feel was created. For the website a blend of rustic and modern graphic elements were in keeping with the company's brand and serves as the primary tool in their development of new customers. The sport fishing adventure provider website also provides online booking for trips and a "fireside chat" blog for the telling of tall tales and the occasional sharing of knowledge!

Wise Consultants Branding + Website

A new small business, Wise Consultants, was looking for a low cost web presence to serve as a digital brochure for their services. As a service provider to other engineering companies the site was a way to highlight the types of service Wise Consultants could provide. The final product is fully responsive design that allows for consistent viewing quality across various devices. The logo for the company was as simple font based design that created a professional and traditional look.

Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Being a designer I could not help but design stationary for my own wedding. The design ties in my beautiful bride's favorite tree (birch) as a texture overlaid with a deep purple to compliment the wedding colors. The letterpress cards were printed in two runs, one for the backdrop and a second for the purple foreground. The stationary package included a total of four printed pieces with ribbon and mounting for the emblem to complete the packaging.
